The answer is simple. "Richard said without thinking," two words, trust. ”

"Trust?" Alan Pompo frowned.

"Yes, it's trust. Richard nodded, "I did it all because of trust issues. For some personal reasons, I was able to stay in St. Louis for a short time, only a few days, and my identity was kept secret.

In this case, it would be difficult to gain the trust of the Pombo family, and it would be difficult to complete the transaction efficiently and simply - after all, it was not an easy transaction. And I don't want to fail this time, that's why I've come to this point step by step.

In my opinion, in the current situation, it is much easier to have the trust of Mr. Alan Pombo alone, than to gain the trust of the entire Pombo family. Of course, there is still a certain risk that Mr. Alan Pompaud, do you really trust me? ”

After a pause, Richard looked at Alan Pombo and asked, "I don't know if your answer is ......"

"My answer. Alan Pompo's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking seriously, and for a moment he smiled shallowly, and walked closer, "My answer is ......"

At this point, the voice suddenly rose high, and the remaining words were fired out of his mouth like cannonballs.

"I don't trust you!"

Alan Pompo's expression turned cold, his gaze became solemn, and as soon as he raised his hand, a large cloud of black gas was born in his hand, like vaporized ink. After shaking it hard, the black gas was like a monster with life, screaming and rushing towards Richard.

"How could I trust you!" Alan Pombo snapped, "How could it be so coincidental?

Heh, you are one with those forces, and you want to speculate on my strength and state through my attitude towards trading? Unfortunately, the same thing has been seen too many times in my previous life, and you can't fool me. Don't think about achieving anything, your only fate is to die here, this is the price of offending my Pombo family!

In the angry voice of Alan Pompo, the black gas reached Richard and exploded with a "bang". The mass sprouted like a strand of black hair, digging deep into Richard's skin, trying to pierce the skin and into his body.

But in the next moment, the black lines were all blocked by the golden yellow energy film that quietly grew on the surface of Richard's skin.

It seems that at this time, Richard's whole person is wrapped in golden energy, like a golden cast, which is the "Armor of Achilles"!

Richard wasn't much surprised by Aaron Pompo's surprise attack, and had had such speculations before entering the door. But even so, he couldn't help but sigh, because Alan Pompo's behavior was something he didn't want to see, and he really wanted to simply complete the deal and leave, rather than have a big fight with the other party.

However, trust is obviously not so easy to obtain, and since the other party has made a move, he can only continue and gain trust in another way.

Paying attention to his heart, Richard did not hesitate, and as soon as his thoughts moved, the "Achilles Armor" that wrapped his body suddenly brightened. The golden beam shot out, like a fist, blasting towards the black qi around the body, shattering and scattering vividly, and the black qi was suddenly empty.

After defusing the attack, Richard was not polite, and as soon as he stepped close to Alan Pompo, he raised his hand, and a blood-red short staff appeared in his hand.

One-hit killing staff!

The free energy element was violently injected into it, activating the function of the staff, and the next moment, a blood-red destructive energy burst out, violently hitting Aaron Pombo's body.

"Poof!"

With a bang, a large hole was blasted out of Arlen Pompo's chest.

But Aaron Pombo did not look surprised or shocked when he was so badly injured, and there was no pain on his face.

He just took a deep look at the wound in his chest, stepped down, and stepped back, while reciting an obscure syllable in his mouth.

"Daran!"

The sound spreads, and it can be seen that as he retreats, Aaron Pompo's entire body is like a glass painting immersed in water—and it is not waterproof—and the color is quickly washed off, and the whole person becomes more and more transparent.

The hair faded away, the eyes turned colorless, and the limbs, torso, clothes, and air fused into one.

In the end, only a vague humanoid silhouette can be barely seen.

Richard couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because he had never seen such a spell, and his heart was vigilant, and he did not act rashly, frowning and observing.

The silhouette of the human figure continued to recede, and when it was completely transparent, it seemed to have reached its limit, and began to return to its original state—the colors were painted on the transparent outline like glass—pale hair grew out of the air, eyes were dyed back to leaden gray, limbs, torso, and clothes were detached from the air and turned back into Aaron Pompo.

At this time, Alan Pombo was almost exactly the same as before, the only difference was that the big hole in his chest that was blasted out by the one-hit killing staff disappeared - at this time, he didn't even have his clothes torn, and looked at Richard intact, but his face was slightly ugly.

Is this some kind of secret healing spell? Or is it a dodge spell?

Richard guessed in his heart, and then raised his eyebrows, and saw Alan Pompo, who had recovered from his injuries, and attacked him again without hesitation.

The other party raised his right hand, and the flesh and blood in his palm parted like a zipper, revealing Bai Sensen's metacarpal bones. In the middle of the third metacarpal bone, which is connected to the ring finger, a small crystal ball the size of a soybean grain is set on it.

The crystal ball flickered, suddenly lit up with a dark green luster, and then "brushed" it suddenly, shooting out a slender green energy beam with a diameter of half a centimeter.

Seeing this green energy beam appear, Richard felt an inexplicable palpitation, as if there was a huge danger, and without any hesitation, he quickly cast a spell to condense the golden "Emslie's Shield" in front of him.

"Bang!"

The green energy beam slammed into the "Emsley Shield", and the "Emsley Shield" shook violently, as if it had been hammered by a 10,000-pound giant hammer, and the surface was instantly covered with cracks.

Richard felt the powerful impact force, and took a deep look at Aaron Pombo, who was attacking, and increased his evaluation of the opponent's combat power by a few points.

The other party, as a third-level wizard who has lived for decades, is really not comparable to ordinary third-level wizards.

With this thought in mind, Richard was not polite, and while maintaining the "Shield of Emsley" to defend against attacks, he turned over and took out the "Gloves of Destruction" to put on with one hand.

The free energy was injected, and the index finger of the "Gauntlet of Destruction" activated, quickly aiming at Aaron Pompo.

Finger of Death!

"Boom!"

With the terrifying energy of the aura of destruction, it slammed towards Aaron Pombo.
